Squig Hopper
And now for something completely different...for me anyway. I generally paint Space Marines, but these little guys just kept calling to me. How can anyone see these, and NOT want to paint one? I wanted to break away from the traditional red squigs, as well as the typical exploding-retina green gobbo. This entire mini was done without a basecoat. I went from glaze to glaze, adding an orange/brown, then a darker shade mixed with purple, green, and/or gray. After that, I glazed a lighter color on the highlights. I repeated this 3-step process about 30 times, going from median, shade, highlight...over and over again. The first couple of tries looked a bit odd, but after a few hours of this little dance, the colors really started to come alive. With this mini, I tried to emulate Mathiue Fontaine's "Hop We Go", although using a different pallet...I'm obviously NOT Mr. Fontaine. Thanks for checking it out, and C&C is always welcome.
